The silence inside of you is the sound of your knowledge collapsing. Remember, it is you who said, ‘I want to be free.’
There is only consciousness. There is no individual apart from consciousness who is conscious.
The beautiful thing about the truth of being is that it’s so unimaginably immediate.
True sincerity reveals a powerful form of clarity and discernment that is necessary in order to perceive yourself honestly without flinching or being held captive by your conditioned mind’s judgments and defensiveness.
We are birthed into sangha, into sacred community. It is called the world.
Go ahead, climb up onto the velvet top of the highest stakes table. Place yourself as the bet. Look God in the eyes and finally, for once in your life, lose.
Suffering is how Life tells you that you are resisting or misperceiving what is real and true. It is the way Life suggests that you are not in harmony with what is.
Stop all doing and be still. Let the fire of stillness burn everything and reveal That which is Openness.
Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time.
The Truth doesn’t answer anything. The Truth IS everything!
The truth is you can’t try to let go. Trying is the opposite of letting go. To let go is to relinquish trying. To let go is much more like to let be.
Cessation of struggle is like free falling through space without a care in the world.
Awareness yields to itself, to its inherent creativity, to its expression in form, to experience itself.
Our yearning for truth actually comes from truth.
Only something as insane as human beings would ever asked themselves if ‘I’m good.’ You don’t find oak trees having existential crisis. ‘I feel so rotten about myself. I don’t produce as much acorns as the one next to me.’
Nothing appears to be something. The human experience is a senseory organ for the divine self. Through these eyes, the divine gets to see itself in form.
You must want to know the truth more than you want to feel secure in order to fully awaken to the fact that you are nothing but Awakeness itself.
What will carry us into living freedom is not the holding of attention so much as the holding of appreciation.
Life sustains itself. Let go of the ego and life takes care of itself through you.
The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.
